For the Syrup: In a medium saucepan add water, sugar, and cardamom. Bring to a boil over medium-heat, stirring from time to time with a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, and cardamom powder, add ghee and condensed milk mix until combined into a rough dough.
-
To form the jamun, divide the dough into 20 equal pieces, then roll each of them between your palms with the help of some ghee to shape the perfect traditional jamun as shown in the video.
-
Preheat oil in deep wok, over medium-low heat. Line a plate with a paper towel and keep a slotted spoon beside the stove. Drop a few jamun at a time into the hot oil using the slotted spoon to move them around from time to time to ensure even cooking, until jamun are golden brown.
-
Remove the jamun from the oil with the slotted spoon and drain the excess oil, then drop the jamun straight into the syrup until well soaked between 5-10 minutes. Remove from the syrup and set on a serving tray and serve hot.
